How Paper Is Toughened.

Paper, rendered as tough as wood or
leather, has been introduced. abroad for
roofing and other purposes. The method
consists in mixing chloride of zinc with
the pulp, in the process of manufacture,
it being also found that the greater the
degree of concentration of the zinc, solu-
ton the greater is the degree of tough
ness, and, consequently, of durability,
characterizing the paper. The material
is likewise adapted for making boxes,
combs, etc.--New York Sun.

Pioneer Press: The work on the
great Russian railway to be built from
the Caspian sea to the Russian Pacific
naval emporium of Vladivostock has
BEEN put in charge of Gen. Amen
koff, who has built with wonderful
rapidity and skill the railway from
the Caspian to Merv. This was one
of the most daring acts Of railway
building on record, as the route lay
over dreary, waterless steppes and
drifting sand. The Russians, like the
old Romans, are great road builders.

attributed to him. Let every one re-

Ice Water and watermelons.

One favorite newspaper topic is q
defamation against ice water, yet every
body drinks it, and nobody is hurt unless
the water itself Is bad, or it is used to ex-
cess, and men are made i'll by excess in
eating and drinking of anything. Another
fancy is that watermelons are a frequent
cause of collie, and they used to be called
cholera bombs, )" and yet nothing is more
wholesome and harmless than that part of
the melon which is usually eaten.-New-

SLEEPING WONDERS.
FEATS ACCOMPLISHED BY PEOPLE
IN THE ARMS OF MORPHEUS.

Indians Sleeping at the Stake Of Tor
ture-Slumber During Cannonade.
Influence of Habit, Time and Circum-
stance-Extraordinary Phenomena.
Sleep in most individuals lasts for the
space of eight hours. Exceptions to this
statement are numerous; whether these
arise from duty or laziness we shall not
venture to examine. Sir e. Codrington,
the famous naval officer, when a midship-
man, could watch on deck for nineteen
hours; this left only five for sleep, which
in his case was most profound-so pro-
found that no noise was sufficiently strong
to waken him; yet IL the word "SignalF"
was whispered In his ear he Rwoke and
was on deck instantly.
Reporters OF the house Of commons re-
quire great exertions TO keep themselves
from sleeping. A few years ago o dis
tinguished member Of ''the gentlemen in
the gallery" took down q speech while he
was sleeping. His statement rests on his
oath. Calvin tells of friend Of his read
ing aloud to him while asleep. The organ
of vision was alone active.
Coleridge, the dreaming philosopher,
composed "Kubla Khan" lone of his
poems) while fast asleep. Next morning
he was sure there had been an acquisition
to his literature, but was too negligent to
write the stanzas. A few days afterward
he attempted to recall the verses, but they
had for the most part fled, and the poem
as 1t now stands Is but fragment.
IN SPITE OF SURROUNDINGS.
Every one knows that extreme fatigue
induces sleep, and this in spite Of sur
rounding relations, which in ordinary cir
cumstances would hinder any one from
resting. Previous to the shortening OF
the hours of work factory children fire.
uuently fell asleep while working at the
machines, although well aware that they
would incur severe punishment by doing
30. The North American Indian, at tho
stake of torture, has been known to go to
sleep on the least remission Of agony, and
will slumber until the fire Is applied to
awaken him.
1t is on record that during the heat Of
the battle of the Nile some Of the over
fatigued boys fell asleep upon the deck,
and during the attack upon Rangoon, Ia
the Burmese war, the captain Of one Of
the steam frigates most actively engaged,
worn out by the excess Of continued men-
tai tension, fell asleep and remained per-
fectly unconscious for two hours within q
yard of his largest guns, which were
being worked energetically the whole
period.
Habit and time, place and circumstances
predispose us all to sleep. The celebrated
pedestrian, Capt. Barclay, when accom-
plishing his extraordinary feat of walking
1000 mikes in as many successive hours,
obtained at last such a mastery over HIM
self that he fell asleep the instant he lay
down. The DOCTORS wife never hears the
door bell during the night, although the
noise is sufficient to rouse the wearied
husband; but should child in the nur-
sery cry, then the mother, oblivious to all
other sounds, hears at once the infants
voice.

Better Fail Than Not Try.

Failure IS the next best thing 70 success;
it may even be better thing than success.
To say that one has failed, is 70 say that he
has striven: and 20 say that he has striven,
is to say that he has acquired strength in
the striving. A boy who was tainted by
his neighbor in the class for falling in
protrscted attempt to answer hard ques-
ton, replied: Well / would rather try
and fail than DO as you did-st still and do
nothing" A child's perceptions Of truth
and a philosophers conceptions Of truth
often come very near together; and what
that boy felt George Eliot expresses:
Failure after long perseverance is much
grander than never to have q striving good
enough to be called a failure" And the
lesson Of that boys failure was better
teaching than any direct teaching from the
text OF the lesson itself. 1t is the part Of q
teachers wisdom to turn to good account
the lessons OF ignorance and failure, as
we'll as Of knowledge and SUCCESS. 5.
